Anime-LA is sneaking up on us now, and everybody make sure to attend Rum Party III ! I'm only starting this thread, but I want to let everyone know that I will NOT be hosting this time around. I'll still be involved with helping set up in any way that I'm needed, but scifichix offered to host this party to

A) Give me a break
B) Give me the chance to participate in the Treasure Hunt

So she will be in charge of things this time around and have the final say in what events do go on.

And I know she has some other tricks up her sleeves. Post here if you will be attending, or post here with suggestions, questions and the like.

The Crew-that-must-not-be-named shall make a Glorius Return to the Treasure Hunt

So far, it's just me but I'm sure more people will hop on board by the time ALA rolls around (WE NEED NINJAS, ALCHEMISTS, AND SHINIGAMI!! =p)

Also, I'll be sure to pick up a portable Speaker and Microphone so as to save my precious voice at this party's Auction ^^

And congratulations on your First Post FemJack ^_^ ... Mew?

Very glad to see some regulars returning!

This one oughta be a blast too. I'm really looking forward to the Treasure Hunt, and Lina is changing the rules to her own way so that I and returning players won't know what to expect.

Dood, I am sooo there! I accidentally crashed at the partay at AX, XP so I missed it...but I heard it was totally fun, so I gotta come! X3

11-01-2005, 07:24 PM

Just like the other two (or should I say three) rum parties, I'll be there!

Captain Jack

11-07-2005, 03:20 AM

Well after talking to Lina a li'l bit, I can confirm a few new games/events:

1. Walk the Plank - An event where a plank is set up over padded mats (blue ones, naturally). You pay one gold going to play, and then put on a blindfold. If you can walk across blindfolded, w/o falling at all, you win 5 gold coins. If you want to raise the stakes, you can be spun around several times, and if you still make it across w/o falling, you win 15 gold coins!!!

2. Shooting Range - This isn't 100 % confirmed, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen. Basically you pay 2 gold coins, and you are handed a rubber band pistol with 5 rubber bands. You shoot at plastic bottles that have been set up, and for every one you knock down, you win 2 gold coins. So if you knock down 5, you make an 8 coin profit.

3. Drinking Game - A competition game between two players. Each lies underneath a wooden keg, and has a steady stream of Root Beer poured into their mouth. The one who can drink the longest without pulling away gets the winnings. (Winnings vary depending on how much each player wagers)

4. Captains Challenge - A tournament event with a whole bunch of people playing. Involves several rounds. Exact rules to be posted later.

I'm so there! I've sadly missed the last two rum parties, so I'm really excited about this one! I can't wait!

scifichicx

11-07-2005, 05:39 PM

Well, there are still details to be worked out but as it stands I figure Rum Party III will START AT SUNSET ON FRIDAY I do not know when the treasure hunt will kick off but there will be a set sign in time, which I think will be 6:00 wherever the party is being held, and at that time all the crews MUST be there. Who ever shows up to the sign in will be assigned into crews and if you miss it then no treasure hunting for you. I figure the actual treasure hunt will start sometime later and I will be able to tell all the crews the time at that sign in. If you don't show up to the beginning of the treasure hunt then someone will take your spot. Best be prompt, lovelies. We want to have a decent amount of time to have the hunt and not make it go too late.

We plan to have three gambling tables (assuming we get tables, if not then gambling blankets on the floor.) which will be cards and dice. We won't know exactly which games until the actual party cause it's a combo of dealer/player's choice. If nothing else we'll have poker, blackjack and craps. To buy in on the gambling you need coins to bet. You can win those through the mini games (walk the plank, shooting, chugging, ect.)

Now, onto some new things...

Seeing as this is a RUM party and the emphasis is on Pirates and their love to drink, I propose a contest. In honor of Mat's 'orc ale' up to 10 people are welcome to bring in their best mixed drink (non-alcoholic! and don't make it gross, you have to take the first drink!) of soda, juice, pixie sticks, whatever you love. It will be tasted by 3 or 4 judges (TBA) and the winner gets a bottle of Mountain Dew and a handfull of gold coins. (And Mat, you can enter too)

Ladies! You are not just for auction anymore! At this rum party we are going to have the entertainment of the gypsies! That's right! Belly dancing!!! Men can do it too, if they be brave enough. You get 30-60 seconds to do your best show (depending on the crowd's enjoyment of you) during which you get to earn coins tossed at you. Then at the end, by popular vote you get more coins (and maybe a special prize). No nudity please! We don't want to get in trouble.

That's it for now, folks. If you are interested in any of the contests leave a note. You can bet there will be even more at the party and I will keep you informed as I know things. Thanks!

Captain Jack

11-22-2005, 02:01 AM

Simmaria and Indy came up with a really good idea for a drinking game.

"Shotglass Checkers" basically a game of checkers using shotglasses full of Brainwash, which, according to them is a super hardcore soda that actually "is felt in your brain". I'm yet to experience it myself, but it sounds intriguing. (And yes, it's nonalcoholic, and has no drugs. Some kind of pepper is in it)

So two people play, and each time someone loses a "piece", they have to down that shot. See who can last all the way through the game!!!

Gainax Boy

11-22-2005, 04:43 PM

And once everyone is all good an hopped up on "special happy Pirate Juice"..

WE have get up on stage for a round of Pirate Karaoke XD

Oh God... Brainwash... I swear, it dyed the bottle blue! As well as your mouth... But yeah, it has cayenne pepper in it, soo...

Well, since I missed ani-magic you might have to count me in for this one. =P

scifichicx

11-25-2005, 04:21 AM

We'll see about the checkers, though the soda may come into play. This is just a medium sized rum party. AX will be the massive one. Don't want to do tooooooooooooooo many games. If the soda gets brought we'll use it.

Since everytime I say I will come to this, I end up missing it... this time I will say I'm NOT coming, so that I'll actually be able to show up. :-P

Nevermind... if THIS doesn't scream Pirates, then I don't know what does.

Well, it'll be dark, they're talking about holding it after sundown. And there's nowhere that I know of to plug in a PA.

(We're working on a deal that may end up working quite well for the Pirate/Rum Party. Need to finalize some details before I announce things, so stay tuned...)

Captain Jack

11-30-2005, 03:11 PM

The problem having it poolside would be the weather.

I doubt anyone has forgot how ungodly cold it was during nighttime outside, eh?

Anna_Chan

Woo!! Rum Party!! *looks at the time* Aww, what??! I won't be there at that time!! I'm only coming up for Saturday... ;_; I had soo much fun at Ani-Magic too...

Oh well... No Yaoi Paddle Betting Game this time around then... TT__TT

So there is massive disscussion and planning going on. You'll know the final word when I do.
Okay, I think we've got the discussion firm enough for me to post an official announcement:

After the AMV's on Friday night, we'll clear the chairs out of the way and bring up the lights a bit for the Rum Party and Pirate Dance. It'll happen in the ballroom with our Friday night dance, so Lina and "Captain Jack" will be able to use our PA system for making announcements and the like.

The convention will order some iced tea from the hotel. It is possible that the pitchers the hotel provides will magically refill themselves; at this convention, anything is possible...

If you have some pirate-themed songs to suggest, or to provide, PM me and we'll see how to make sure that DJ Scott Beckstead has them on file to play in between the talking-like-a-pirate bits.

I'd also like to throw in a fund-raising idea I had. I've got a good amount of various emplty bottles, and I was thinking we can sell them for a couple bucks each to raise money for future Rum Party's. By AX, I'm planning on having Rum Party t-shirts for sale also :D

We also accept straight donations, and all profit goes into the next Rum Party.

Hey, is this line-up firm enough for me to put on the website and in the brochures, or should I leave a few of them out if they're still tentative?

Chaz

Captain Jack

12-23-2005, 08:41 PM

Chaz, all of the games are going to happen for sure, the only events we are 100% certain of are the Belly Dancing Contest, the Treasure Hunt, and the Auction.

The Swill Contest will happen as long as enough people bring their own ingredients to make their swill. Which reminds me, anybody who wants in on the swill contest has to bring their ingredients to me or Lina, and mix them under supervision. We only do this to make sure nobody spikes their drink or anything like that.

The Captain's Challenge is almost certain to happen, but will be somewhat spur-of-the-moment. But yes, if you'd like you can go ahead and put all of the games and events on the site and brochures.

Also, we still want signups for the Treasure Hunt. Gainax Boy still needs 3 people on his crew, and we need another 5 for Crew # 3!!!

All other events will have signups at the party.

Captain Jack

12-27-2005, 05:53 PM

Only if you sign up for it, which you haven't. If you want to be in, I can put you on Crew # 2, or Crew # 3 as the Team Captain.

I wouldn't mind being the team captain ^_^. I'll go for it! Put me on some team, I wanna participate!

Hey, Gainax Boy, can I be in your group for the Treasure Hunt?(I'm a ninja too!) If so, put me down as Sakuragirl. Thx!

Gainax Boy

Hey, Gainax Boy, can I be in your group for the Treasure Hunt?(I'm a ninja too!) If so, put me down as Sakuragirl. Thx!

Alright folks. Signups for the Treasure Hunt are now closed, as we have filled all the slots. If you don't participate this time, don't worry! You can still have plenty of fun at the Rum Party and you can sign up again next time!

Captains of each crew should get ahold of their members and make sure that you can all meet up at the Rum Party to check in for the Treasure Hunt. Check in deadline is at 9:30. Just see Lina (chick Jack). If you are missing members, we will find replacements for you on the spot.

Estel

01-03-2006, 09:52 PM

Resident whelp checkin in... Just to say... Hullo I guess. Seeing as how I would be hung by my ankles should I not be attending... I think I'll be in attendance.

TristenCitrine

01-07-2006, 04:20 AM

This sounds like a really fun idea for a party!

Question, though- what are the gold coins for? Are they bought or just won in games?

It looks like I'm going to this con and might be able to help out if needed. heh, it is an excuse to make something fun and piratey to wear!

Captain Jack

01-07-2006, 04:51 AM

Yeah Estel, if you don't go, me and Lina'll mess ya up!!! :)

You'll be given some number of gold coins at the party Tristen. you can use them to gamble at the various games to try and win more, and use them to bid on pirates in the auction. Or, you could keep them as souvenirs!

Estel

01-08-2006, 02:39 AM

I may not be there by the time it starts, but this party sounds WAY too fun to miss!
But I'll have to make sure my husband and his friend don't bring alcohol in. They're bad boys like that. BUt I may get them to dress up as pirates for Friday night!

And for anyone that has seen Morning Musume's Hyokkori Hyoutan Jima PV knows it's an absolute PERFECT pirate song since Morning Musume dress up like pirates in the PV. I will be Asami Konno pirate :)

Rum party? ... hot damn, you've just given me an excuse to show up on Friday.

01-16-2006, 04:05 AM

um... so... if I disappear for an hour don't mind me ():-)
Relax. The Rum Party is getting underway about 9 o'clock, or whenever the AMV contest ends. The Yaoi panel isn't until midnight.

Take a deep breath...

Hey Captain, I have the plank done! I think it looks great and works too! Well i do have one suggestion, cus how I made it, its a bit harder to walk then your average plank. Either we can make the 'easy' mode no blindfold and the hard version with blindfold. OR it can easily be made easyer with 4 bricks, peices of wood, books, unopened cans of soda, heads, or pretty much anything lieing around.:bigtu: (and i revamped my sword too... so happy!)

Crashing this party to make up for a late turn-out at the Ani-Magic '05 Rum Party. (Caused by my burying my con badge in my hotel room - This time, the badge is not traveling without me in close proximity!)

I'll most likely still be in costume as Black Jack from earlier in the day. Not quite a pirate, per se, but a renegade/mercenary nonetheless. Think Captain Harlock with a scalpel. ^_^;

What I worry though is that now that Jack and I have each won one Treasure Hunt each... this means that next time the 3rd Crew (whoever they may be) may be in favor to win 0__0

*covets his Victory*

And yes! Thank you to Everyone who showed up! And thank you to everyone who stood by us despite the constant interuptions and new rules ^^;;

We can't have a Rum Party without you guys. You make it all worthwhile ^^

Also, Special Glomps and Hugs to everyone who bet on my Crew to win the Treasure Hunt. :)

Thanks to Chaz for making it official and helping out so much with expenses.
Wasn't that much -- a few cases of Tejava iced tea. I was buying some anyway, because some of the GoHs drink iced tea. I'm just glad we didn't have to pay hotel prices, which are usually on the order of $40 to $100 for a single gallon of tea or coffee.
